US drone crashes in Pakistan
An unmanned United States drone aircraft crashed in Pakistan's lawless northwestern tribal district yesterday after suffering a technical fault, local security officials said.
The drone, the second to crash in Pakistan within the last month, went down in South Waziristan, part of the lawless tribal belt on the Afghan border that Washington calls a global headquarters of al-Qaeda.
"The American drone crashed in Zangara village of South Waziristan, apparently because of some technical faults," a security official in Peshawar, the main town in Pakistan's northwest, told AFP.
Two intelligence officials in Wana, the main town of South Waziristan, confirmed the incident.
